Matthew 25:1-8

Jubilee Bible 2000

25 ¶ Then shall the kingdom of the heavens be likened unto ten virgins who, taking their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom.

² And five of them were prudent, and five were foolish.

³ Those that were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them;

⁴ but the prudent took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

⁵ While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

⁶ And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go ye out to meet him.

⁷ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.

⁸ And the foolish said unto the prudent, Give us of your oil, for our lamps are going out.
